"To Learn, To Teach,
To Observe, and To Do." The student should
be a Critical Thinker, Effective Communicator, Proactive
Educator, and Moral Practitioner.
Class time will include lecture,
business case short videos and class discussion, and also supervision
and help on your team assignments. For the most part, Mondays
will be lecture days, and Wednesdays will be team days. On team
days, we will apply the concepts covered in the lectures to either your
Project or to external business cases or operations management model
sample problems. Your team will be required to answer specific
questions given the In-Class Assignments, or in the Project Milestones
during class. Usually, these are due at the end of class, but I
may extend the time to allow teams to complete an assignment before the
next class meeting. This type of class flipping
has proven especially
helpful for teamwork (to ensure participation of all team members), and
also for project work, where immediate help can correct the trajectory
of your project early in the process.
Project:
Students will form teams to study a real company's management
and operations. As we progress through the course, teams are
required to apply the concepts and models that we learn to the company
that the team has selected. This is achieved through Project
Milestones, which are assignments that provide questions or instruct
you with specific tasks in order to apply these concepts to your
company. Project Milestones are due as listed on the Course
Schedule. At the end of the semester, teams will present their
projects to the class and also summarize their findings and
recommendations in a report. The final project presentation and
report are in lieu of a final exam.

Please note that without extenuating circumstances, this policy may not be changed by the instructor. If you have any problems or concerns, please see Dr. Tessler.
Hebrew Theological College is
committed to providing an academic community and learning environment
based on honest inquiry and pursuit of knowledge that fosters
commitment and adherence to Judaic tenets. The faculty and
administration of Hebrew Theological College have specified the
following acts as serious violations of personal honesty and academic
ideals that jeopardize the quality of education within a Torah
environment:
More information about HTC’s Academic Integrity policy can be found on page 15 of the Student Handbook.
Any student, who,
because of a disability, may require some special arrangements in order
to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as
possible to make necessary accommodations and share appropriate
documentation from the Office of Special Services, provided by HTC’s
Disabilities Officer, Dr. Richard Aronoff.
Accommodations will be
made, but instructors must be aware of your needs in order to make
proper accommodations. It is the responsibility
of the student to make these needs known in a timely fashion and to
provide documentation prior to the beginning of any semester in which
accommodations are desired.
Incomplete
Policy--
Crisis Management
This is available ONLY
to students with extreme and/or extenuating circumstances who
Students who have not
satisfactorily completed 50% of class assignments are not allowed to
receive an incomplete grade. Students who do not have a grade of
“C” or above average are not allowed an incomplete. Students must
request an incomplete prior to the week of finals. The instructor may
refuse an incomplete request. It is the student’s responsibility to
request an Incomplete Form from the school office, have the form signed
by the instructor, Dean, themselves, and return it to the instructor
prior to the final. If the student fails to return the completed form
to you when grades are due, the student is to receive the grade they
would have received if they had not requested an incomplete.
Instructors will define the amount of time allowed to complete the
missing work, however, the time allowed cannot exceed 12 weeks after
the end of the semester in which the incomplete was requested. If the
student fails to remove the incomplete within 12 weeks, the grade will
be recorded as an “IF,” meaning failure due to an incomplete. An
“IF” will be counted as an “F” in the student’s GPA and will
be part of the student’s permanent record.
HTC bans the use of cell phones,
computers and other devices for texting,
web-browsing or other non-class
related activities during class. This behavior may result in expulsion
from the course after a single warning. Electronic devices may not be
used during exams, and their use in class is subject to faculty
discretion and permission. Only students with documented disabilities
who must use such devices may request exemptions as documented.
Hebrew Theological College is
committed to providing all of our students with various resources and
support for academic success. Tutorial services through the Writing
Clinic, Math Center, and Hebrew Tutoring Center provide assistance in a
variety of disciplines. Students should make arrangements to avail
themselves of these services. Librarians at the Saul Silber Memorial
Library are available to assist students with all their research needs.
Students can find information about the library services and resources
at http://htclibrary.weebly.com.
Mid-way through the semester, your
instructor will evaluate your progress in this course and share this
feedback with the deans. This information will be used for advising
purposes. You can view the form at http://tinyurl.com/HTCMSPR.
